Chuck Liddell Tears Hamstring; Out of UFC 85
In what you’ve got to consider as horrible news for UFC fans in England, Chuck Liddell has torn his hamstring and will miss his fight against Rashad Evans in London at UFC 85. The event will take place on June 7. The UFC provided the following picture of Liddell’s injury on their website:
After seeing that picture, it’s obvious why Liddell will be out of UFC 85. So far, no timetable has been provided for Liddell’s recovery. Dana White had the following to say on UFC.com:
“Unfortunately, Chuck Liddell tore his right hamstring during training last week, and being the warrior that he is, he still wanted to fight, which is the reason why everyone in the world loves him,” said Dana White, UFC President. “But I wouldn’t let anyone fight with his leg looking that way. Let him heal and come back and fight when he is 100 percent.”
White continued, “We’re adding fights to the card and rearranging it so the UK fans won’t have to worry, we’ll still be bringing an amazing card to London and the O2 Arena. The UFC® always delivers.”
Let the speculation begin. What fights can possibly make up for the loss of Chuck on this card?
